Full Version: Comics-friendly Viewtype Request

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this or not. I hope it is.

My question is: How difficult would it be to implement a comic-book cover friendly view-type in the 'pictures' menu of the Night skin?

Basically, I'm just looking for a Showcase or (preferably) a Cover Flow/Wrap view that uses DVD proportional thumbs instead of the square ones. I have no experience coding, otherwise I would try to do it myself.

Something like this, maybe?

I'll look into it, but yea it's mostly a time thing...
Alright taking a peek at this at the moment...if you want "Poster" view it's real simple:

Open MyPics.xml, around line 24 you'll see:

Quote:<include>Viewtype_PictureGrid</include>
<include>Viewtype_Files</include>
<include>PictureThumbView</include>
<include>Viewtype_Poster</include>

Just insert that bolded line <include>Viewtype_Poster</include>...

Looks cool to me but I have no dog in this fight, I'll take your or others opinion and run with it. I am going to create a specific comic view as I like my different sections to have it's own view/look but this can hold you off for now...
"I am going to create a specific comic view."

This was all I really needed to hear. Greatly appreciated, and keep up the fantastic work.
this is really cool!
thanks for putting so much work into your skin and listening to requests!
